How to Make STEAK PIZZAIOLA Like an Italian

Steak Pizzaiola is a classic dish originating from Naples, creating a flavorful braising liquid for meat. Back in the day, when times were tough, families made the most of what they had, turning simple ingredients like tomatoes and garlic into hearty meals like this one. Steak Pizzaiola typically uses less expensive cuts of beef, simmered in a rustic marinara sauce made from juicy peeled tomatoes, fragrant garlic, passata, and a touch of oregano—don’t skip the oregano, it’s important for the sauce’s signature flavor. After that, finish it with freshly cracked pepper and basil to enhance the aroma. The best part? You'll have leftover meaty sauce, perfect for tomorrow’s pasta night, making it an ideal recipe for busy weeknights. With just a handful of ingredients you can create a dish that’s simple to prepare, yet packed with rich, authentic Italian flavors. 💯 Follow this link to read and print the written recipe: https://www.vincenzosplate.com/steak-pizzaiola/ #steak #recipe #vincenzosplate =============================================== INGREDIENTS: 500 g / 17.64oz Thin and lean pieces of beef or veal 2 cans / 800g / 28.2oz peeled tomatoes 1 bottle passata Fresh or dried oregano A fresh bunch of basil 5 garlic cloves crushed Extra virgin olive oil EVOO Salt & Pepper METHOD: 1.
